Artwork Description:
War Music Series 3 is an original monotype print by acclaimed Cochiti Pueblo artist Mateo Romero, blending expressive brushwork with powerful visual storytelling rooted in Indigenous experience. This piece is part of Romero’s celebrated War Music series, which honors the intersection of ceremony, resistance, and cultural survival through dynamic, contemporary Native American people and culture.
Created using oil-based etching ink on plexiglass plates, each mark is painted directly onto the plate and then pulled through a Takach press—a process that produces a one-of-a-kind image with rich texture and expressive brushwork. This is not a digital reproduction or part of a print edition. It is a true 1 of 1 original fine art monotype, created by hand and full of energy.

ABOUT THE ARTIST
MATEO ROMERO
Contemporary painter Mateo Romero was born and raised in Berkeley, California. Although his cultural background is an urban one, through his father Santiago Romero and his connection to their Southern Keresan Cochiti people, this experience includes much of the Rio Grande Pueblo world as well. Mateo attended Dartmouth College and studied with acclaimed artists Ben Frank Moss and Varujan Boghosian.
He received an MFA in printmaking from the University of New Mexico. Mateo is an award-winning artist who has exhibited internationally in Canada and in the United States. He is currently a Dubin Fellow in painting at the School of American Research in Santa Fe, NM, and paints in his studio in Santa Fe and lives in Pojoaque Pueblo with his wife, Melissa, and their children Erik, Povi, and Rain.
